Changmo Sung

Director, PM Center of K-Health MIRAE

Changmo Sung is the Head of the PM Center at the K-Health Future Initiative under the Korea Health Industry Development Institute, overseeing Korea’s ARPA-H–style health R&D program.

Appointed in July 2024, he leads strategic, high-risk, high-impact R&D efforts across five key areas: health security, intractable diseases, digital health, social care, and regional healthcare.

Emphasizing a “fail-fast, aim-high” approach inspired by ARPA-H, he outlined this vision at Digital Healthcare Forum 2024. He also promotes a problem-solving R&D paradigm to tackle emerging challenges like aging and space medicine.

Recently, he strengthened clinical-research integration through a partnership with the Korean Society for Clinical Laboratory Science, advancing precision medicine and real-world applications of digital health technologies.
